This is, a woman in a yellow dress came from outside the door, dressed very dazzlingly, this is our virtuous concubine Niangniang.

Concubine Xian bowed her body disdainfully when she entered the door and said, "The concubine asks for Niangniang, Niangniang Wan'an!" ”

The queen ignored the attitude of this virtuous concubine, this virtuous concubine was an old man who came out of the hidden mansion with His Majesty, and she was the biological mother of this great prince, and she was under one person in the harem, and the family was powerful and powerful, so she was naturally arrogant. And what about the Queen? The queen is a wise person, so naturally she doesn't care about her.

Without waiting for the queen to speak, Concubine Xian stood up, the queen was used to it, and she didn't say anything.

The concubines all got up and saluted Concubine Xian: "The concubine respectfully invites Concubine Xian to make up her mother!" ”

Concubine Xian cupped her hair bun and said, "Sisters, excuse me!" ”

The concubines nodded and said, "Xie Niangniang!" ”

Everyone sat down one after another, and among them, there were a few new talents and Jieyu who had entered the palace, whispering below. is nothing more than Concubine Xian's disrespect for the queen, and Xia Yuke, as a side concubine, does not know how to be polite.

Concubine Shu suddenly looked at the queen and asked respectfully: "This autumn banquet is coming soon, I don't know what the mother has planned?" ”

The queen thought for a while and said: "The palace is also worried, if this is the autumn banquet in previous years, the palace can just prepare as usual, but this year is not different from the family banquet in previous years, this state banquet is really difficult to welcome the autumn palace." ”

I only heard Concubine Xian say with some sneer: "Who said it wasn't? This state banquet is not sloppy, the palace concubines are not counted, even the hundreds of officials in the court and their families have to attend, and the slightest difference will attract people to discuss. ”

Who can't see the meaning of this virtuous concubine's words, that is, to ridicule the queen for not being able to hold this state banquet to welcome the autumn, but the queen does not take her words to heart and says: "What is the opinion of the virtuous concubine? ”

After saying that, he looked at Concubine Xian, who would have thought that this Concubine Xian looked at Xia Yuke, and saw that Xia Yuke was terrified, and had an ominous premonition. Why, after enduring it for so long, you still decided to attack her? Where are you going to start this time?

Concubine Xian actually got up and saluted the queen respectfully, and said, "Don't you know Niangniang? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Ganzhou controls the water and appeases the people, all of whom our Concubine Xia is by her side, and there is no shortage of advice in the middle, anyway, she is a person who can live in trouble, it is better for Niangniang to hand over this mission to her, and the concubine will not let Niangniang and His Majesty down. ”

Xia Yuke really felt a chill on her back when she heard this, didn't this concubine say this to the queen at this time, implying that the prince's achievements were all due to her Xia Yuke, this is not good, so she hurriedly got up and saluted and said to the queen; "Queen Mother, this virtuous concubine has really tormented her sons, Your Highness is wise and martial, why do you need your sons to give advice to Your Highness? As for the queen of the state banquet, she is the mother of the country, and this state banquet is no problem. ”

In fact, the queen knew this, so she didn't care, and hurriedly pulled Xia Yuke up and said: "Good boy, the queen mother knows you, you are a capable child, if you can help the state banquet, it will be even more brilliant." ”

When Xia Yuke heard this, he let go of his heart hanging in the air and said: "The queen mother laughed, the reins will think about the empress, and the queen mother needs to tell the retainers." ”

The queen was very relieved and said: "Okay, well, you also have to pay attention to your body, and you must give birth to a white and fat grandson for the queen mother, so that Your Majesty and the palace can be happy!" ”

Xia Yuke heard the queen say this, then smiled, and said to the queen: "Yes, yes, the queen mother, the sons and daughters know, and they will give birth to a white and chubby son for His Royal Highness, the queen mother and His Majesty!" ”

When Song Yao saw this scene, she thought to herself, what a filial daughter-in-law, a humble mother-in-law, this is sitting here, you are looking for your son's little wife to collude, so where is my foothold in the East Palace after the child is born? Thinking of this, Song Yao said to herself, she can't wait any longer, it's time to do something.

Looking at Concubine Xian again, she couldn't sit down in this hall, so she stood up while holding her head, bowed slightly to the queen, and said, "Niangniang, the concubine is a little unwell, so she will go back first." After speaking, without waiting for the queen to say yes, she turned around and walked outside the hall.

Song Meiren on the side saw that Concubine Xian went back, she couldn't stay anymore, so she got up and wanted to go back to the palace, but she didn't have any crooked thoughts, everything was subject to the arrangements of the family, she didn't dare to be so arrogant, so she stood up and saluted respectfully, and said: "It's been so long today, Concubine Xia should be tired, the concubine looks at Concubine Xia's face is really not very good, it's better for Niangniang to take a look at the imperial doctor first, so as not to make any mistakes." ”

In fact, Song Meiren knew Song Yao's plan, but she was indeed kind-hearted, knew how to empathize, and looked at things from someone else's standpoint, and she really couldn't bear to see Xia Yuke lose her child at a young age, and she was distressed, so she really couldn't help but say to the queen.

When the queen heard this, she also knew Song Meiren's temperament after a long time, but she was controlled by her family, so she has always taken good care of Song Meiren. Now that Song Meiren can say such things, she is also very pleased, so she smiled and said to Song Meiren: "Song Meiren has a heart!" Then he said to the concubines: "Then let's get here today, and the sisters will go back to their palaces to rest first!" ”

After the queen finished speaking, the concubines got up and saluted the queen, and said together: "Yes, the concubines and others will retire!" Then they turned and went back to their respective palaces.

After the concubines left, the queen saw that Xia Yuke's face was really wrong, and even a little pale, so she took Xia Yuke's hand, and said with great concern and eagerness: "Ke'er, why is your face so bad?" Are you feeling unwell, do you want to see a doctor? ”

Xia Yuke saw that the queen was very anxious and didn't want the queen to worry, so he touched his forehead and said: "It's okay, the queen mother, the son is fine, it's just that in the past few days, I have been a little sleepy, and I feel that my body is a little weak. Rest assured, queen mother! ”

Hearing Xia Yuke say this, the queen didn't ask much, but said, "Okay, then you can go to the queen mother's collapse and rest for a while!" That said, but she still couldn't rest assured.

Xia Yuke was supported by the painting screen, strolled to the front of the collapse, and lay down to lie down and take a nap.

The queen ordered someone to prepare dinner, and prepared to leave Xia Yuke to stay for dinner in the palace. These days, Feng Sui was sent by the emperor to go out to deal with official business, and Xia Yuke was not at ease in the East Palace alone, so she left Xia Yuke in her palace every day to have dinner before going back.

"Don't ...... No...... Let go of my child! Suddenly Xia Yuke shouted, and the queen hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see Xia Yuke's face pale, sweating profusely, as if he was in pain.

The queen immediately asked Huaping to ask for a doctor, and also named the doctor Zhao from the hospital. Before the queen hired people, she had to find out the bottom of the person, and she had heard Xia Yuke say that the Zhao Pengfei Zhao Imperial Doctor who was in charge of her pregnancy was a responsible, young and promising person. Later, I sent someone to inquire, and I learned that this Imperial Doctor Zhao's hometown was actually from Ganzhou, and the picture of the flooding in Ganzhou made this Xia Yuke the life-saving benefactor of his wife, so he was a person who could rest assured.

After a while, the imperial doctor came, and Zhao Pengfei walked into the palace and saluted the queen, saying, "Humble to meet the queen's mother, mother's mother." ”

The queen glanced at this Zhao Pengfei, judging from his appearance, he was indeed a rare one, although he was young, he seemed to be stable in his behavior or something, so he stepped forward and said, "Get up, Imperial Doctor Zhao!" This Ke'er is here for some reason, he is pale when he falls asleep, and he is sweating profusely, please run away, help Bengong take a look! ”

Zhao Pengfei hurriedly got up and walked to Xia Yuke when he heard this, and then heard the sound of talking in the room, Xia Yuke woke up, Zhao Pengfei picked up the handkerchief he had prepared in advance and put it on Xia Yuke's wrist and began to check the pulse, and after a while, he asked the painting screen: "May I ask the painting screen girl, has the master eaten anything recently that he didn't eat in the past?" ”

Huaping thought for a while, and said hesitantly to the queen: "Miss has been eating with her mother these days, and when she goes back, she eats the same food as she used to eat, but it's just ......."

When the queen heard this, she was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Just what?" ”

The painting screen hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Niangniang forgives her sins, but in addition to the meals used by Niangniang here and the fruit cakes eaten on weekdays, these have not changed, and the supplements sent by the princess every day have been used, and the princess Niangniang said that this is her heart, and my master is not easy to shirk, and I can't think of ......"

When the queen heard this, she immediately fainted with anger and said, "There is still such a thing? When he turned around, he said to Liu's mother: "You go, go to the East Palace and call this thing that doesn't know whether it is dead or alive to the palace, no, tie it up directly!" ”

This Xia Yuke saw that the queen was really angry, so he immediately stopped Mother Liu and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, you must not have a seizure at this time!" ”

The queen looked at Xia Yuke and asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”

Xia Yuke immediately stood up, helped the queen to sit on the collapse, turned around and instructed everyone else to exit first, and after everyone went out, he knelt at her feet and said: "Queen Mother, if you say something inappropriate in front of you, Your Highness has his own revenge, and the mother of the princess's pregnancy before is clear-eyed, and she can see that the woman is not pregnant with His Royal Highness." But why did His Highness hide it for her later? Since she is still useful, she will still be able to use it in the future! ”

The queen looked at Xia Yuke, at this time her heart was mixed, she was feeling aggrieved for the child, so she said: "Good boy, I just wronged you!" ”

Xia Yuke said: "Queen Mother, what grievances are you talking about? As long as it can be for His Royal Highness, Erchen will not be wronged, not to mention that he will not dispose of her, but he will just keep it first. ”

The queen was very pleased when she heard this, so she said: "Then you will stay in my palace for a few days, and when Sui'er comes back to pick you up, you will go back, otherwise the queen mother will not let go!" ”

Xia Yuke nodded and agreed, and for the next few days, she stayed in the queen's palace until Feng Sui came back on the fifth day to take her home.
